,: You can t get Deeper if you re standing still. That s :,
: intentional, says the Chicago quartet s Nic Gohl. Does it feel :
:' good when you re listening to this song? Does your body want to ':
,: move with it? These are the questions he asked himself as he :,
: and bandmates Shiraz Bhatti, Drew McBride, and Kevin Fairbairn :
:' were writing and recording Careful!, their third record and Sub ':
,: Pop debut. I wanted these to be interesting songs, but in a way :,
: where a two-year-old would vibe out to it, Gohl adds. It s pop :
:' music, basically. ':
,: :,
: That basically qualifier is working pretty hard, as fans of :
:' 2020 s Auto-Pain might suppose. Auto-Pain was an album of thick ':
,: brutalist architecture, full of straight lines and sharp angles, :,
: making hard shapes strong enough to carry a heavy thematic :
:' burden. On Careful!, they re reshaping the facades and ':
,: splashing color, not reimagining their sound so much as testing :,
: its limits. There are synth experiments, there are moments of :
:' nauseatingly powerful darkwave and coldbeat. There are massive ':
,: rock n roll songs that you can imagine 10,000 people singing :,
: along to in some beautiful outdoor setting. There is a :
:' remarkably moving love song. Is there pop? There s some pop, ':
,: yes, a wiry bit of Cars-esque neon called Everynight. Look :,
: around the right corners, and you might see some of the old :
:' buildings peeking through, too, but in this context on a song ':
,: like Sub, say, a song that began life as a slow and dark prog :,
: jam but is now an elegantly cresting wave of post-punk they feel :
:' more sophisticated, lit up in the cold, bright glow of ':
,: Television. :,
: :
:' Auto-Pain was released in March 2020, which means Deeper wasn t ':
,: able to play their new album live for nearly a year and a half. :,
: It was hard living in the vacuum of depending on Spotify :
:' numbers to quantify what your music means to other people, ':
,: McBride says. Nature abhors a vacuum, though, and the band :,
: rushed to fill not only their empty time but the suddenly empty :
:' idea of what, exactly, their identity was. Isolated by ':
,: ourselves, we were like, What is Deeper? Bhatti says. We ve :,
: always talked about how we didn t want to stay in one genre as a :
:' band, Gohl says, and absent any audience expectations, they ':
,: gave themselves the freedom to tinker. :,
: :
:' One vibe I thought about a lot was Bowie s most coked-out ':
,: productions, Gohl says. If you want to, you can hear echoes of :,
: Low in the snapping rhythm and gray-sky synths of Tele, but :
:' you can also hear a bit of Auto-Pain in the nailed-in, ':
,: stippling lines being spit out by Bhatti s drum programming and :,
: McBride s synthesizer. Fame seems to stumble together and :
:' nearly fall apart, the dialed-up noise making the beat feel ':
,: maniacal and a little invincible, the whole thing a series of :,
: short, snipped, autonomous gestures that are by now Deeper s :
:' trademark. ':
,: :,
: Build a Bridge pushes in the opposite direction, using a :
:' prickly guitar line to launch into big, smeary art-pop, its ':
,: emotional palette clear, well-defined, and easy to latch onto. :,
: On Sub, Gohl sings above and below the melody like Ian :
:' McCulloch, bellowing and wondering and ruminating and rounding ':
,: into swaggering confidence that the band rises to meet. It s :,
: festival headliner music that still feels like it was written in :
:' a garage. ':
,: :,
: The album s title, exclamation point, and all come from the song :
:' Airplane Air, and it s echoed in the album s final song, ':
,: Pressure, a song Gohl wrote for his wife and longtime partner. :,
: Be safe, he sings, I will need you around. It s a song that :
:' sounds like nothing else in their catalog ringing harmonics, ':
,: chiming chords, vocal harmonies but the sense of interdependence :,
: is near the center of Deeper s music, from the way Gohl and :
:' McBride s guitars jigsaw together and interlock with Bhatti s ':
,: drum patterns and Fairbairn s bass to the lyrical vulnerability :,
: at the album s core. That sense of mutuality makes this :
:' restlessly curious, stylistically broad album feel like the ':
,: most coherent portrait of who Deeper is. Or, as McBride :,
: ultimately frames it, Careful! is about looking out for one :
:' another. ':
